Reasons to lose excess weight
05.03.2025

Losing excess weight is not just a matter of appearance, but above all of health and well-being.
Here are the most important reasons why it makes sense to lose weight if you are overweight:
Better overall health
Lower risk of cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke).
Lower likelihood of type 2 diabetes.
Reduced stress on the liver and kidneys.
Less joint and back pain
Excessive body weight puts pressure on the joints, which can lead to osteoarthritis and pain in the knees, back and hips. Losing weight reduces pressure on the joints and improves mobility.
Better metabolism and digestion
A healthy diet and fewer kilograms improve digestion, reduce problems with constipation and bloating, and contribute to better absorption of nutrients.
Higher energy levels and better well-being
Lower body weight means more energy for daily activities. At the same time, fatigue is reduced, as the body is better able to regulate blood sugar.
Better sleep quality
Excess fat can cause sleep apnea (short-term interruptions in breathing), which leads to poor sleep and daytime fatigue. Weight loss often improves sleep.
Increased self-esteem and better psychological well-being
Improved physical fitness, better well-being and satisfaction with your appearance can increase self-confidence and reduce stress and anxiety.
Longer life
Studies show that a healthy body weight reduces the risk of chronic diseases and extends life expectancy.
Greater physical performance and better fitness
Fewer kilograms mean less strain when walking, running, cycling and other activities, which improves endurance and physical fitness.
Fewer cravings for unhealthy foods
As the body gets used to a more balanced diet, the desire for sugar and processed foods decreases, which helps maintain a healthy body weight in the long term.
Increased resistance and a better immune system
A proper diet and a healthy body weight help the immune system function better and reduce the risk of frequent infections.
Losing weight is an investment in your health and long-term well-being!
